27 inch + 4k + 144hz
prepare to be sorely disappointed.

why ? Would I be better dropping down to 2k ? With my budget!

Not sure a £1K PC is going to be enough to drive a 4K 144hz monitor. Perhaps it's better to get a 1440p super side such as this and have a £1.3K PC box so you can run games close to the maximum refresh rate of the monitor.

I’ve got 2k to spend on the pc alone and another £1000 for the monitor

Sorry I read wrong. Are you dead set on a 4K monitor or would you consider getting a superwide?

well not sure really just want the best possible graphics with the budgets I have got !

No. The Acer Nitro 4K monitor is wonderful. And you don't need a 2080 Ti to run it (though I do have one myself). If you want to experiment with GPU-stressors like RTX you can easily drop down to 1080p.

BTW I misread the monitor you originally chose. The one you want - which I have - is this one:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Acer Nitro XV273K 27" 3840x2160 IPS 4K UHD 144Hz FreeSync/G-Sync Widescreen LED Gaming Monitor= £899.99

Total: £911.09 (includes shipping: £11.10)

The bulk of those denigrating 4k haven't tried it and are speaking from ignorance. I've been happily gaming at 4K for many years. I started off with a 780 Ti.

The choice between 4k and ultrawide is a fine one. I have both and some games play better on one and others on the other. Driving games in particular benefit from the ultrawide format.

Thanks, I’m confused now will you do me a basket what I need to buy ! With the best build for my budget please. Got all confused now with the different baskets sorry
